Neither Apple nor Microsoft invented many of the technologies that they brought to prominence. So “innovator” in that sense is perhaps exaggerated. But what Apple does so well is to realize the potential in a technology, and to frame it in such a way that people discover that they need it. In a way, they are cultural innovators more than they are tech innovators.

Finding Nemo is Pixar’s most visually stunning film and employs some great vocal talent, but it’s not excellent as a movie. The characters aren’t as engaging, and the script isn’t as sharp. Blue Memento fish would have made a great bit character, but as a lead she’s more annoying than Jar Jar Binks.
